I own lots of more expensive watches but for sheer value for money I don’t think you can beat the basic Seiko Turtle.

Such a great watch. Think I only paid around £250 for it lightly used off eBay.
Managed to get a seat in the directors box at Old Trafford the other month. Sat behind Sir Alex.
Was going to go over to speak to him in the directors dining area but there was people going up to him constantly.

Yes is a pain but the battery lasts years so not too bad.
I do have a easier to access Tuna also but doesn’t get much wrist time these days.

Had lunch with Mr Fabio Lamborghini the other month and went round the Lamborghini museum and factory.
Absolutely amazing.


The new Airs look a solid laptop.
Tempted by a Neo for my daughter.
I have a M2 Pro mini for home stuff and for running Plex server on, I also have a MacBook M4 Pro for work. Both doing me fine for now.
Actually looking at yours Giles it looks like it has loads of cones on it!
The spikey round balls.
Wow that’s a cracker! Strange there is no cones yet on it. You get male and female cones on the same tree. Mine is planted on its own.
Here’s a male cone -

The seeds go for crazy money online. They are still pretty rare.
First female cone on my Wollemi Pine. Had male cones for years. Looking forward to getting some seeds for the first time.

My Giant Redwood is also starting to pack on some size.

Same. Been tempted by the N&F ones so an Iron Heart one would be awesome!
I have always loved natural weight training. In my 20s I let my weight get away from me and got to about 20 stone.

Sorted myself out and in my 30s got in pretty decent shape.

In my late 40s now but still in good shape and lifting heavy. Really just focused on functional strength now and overall health.

That CPO is looking awesome!
